Raid and Exile: I Emptied the Prince's Estate and Struck It Rich

Su Hanchu, a highly trained assassin from a modern era, dies under torture and transmigrates into the body of another Su Hanchu, the eldest daughter of a General. She awakens on her wedding night in the Qin Prince’s Manor, only to discover that her husband, Jun Moye, has not come to consummate the marriage. Instead, his cousin Chen Siyu arrives to humiliate her, leading to a physical altercation that leaves the original host unconscious. Su Hanchu quickly assesses her situation, realizing she has inherited a precarious position. Just as she stabilizes her thoughts, an imperial edict arrives declaring the Prince of Qin guilty of treason. The entire household faces confiscation of property and exile to the northwest.

Recognizing the immediate danger and opportunity, Su Hanchu utilizes her unique Spatial Dimension, a storage ability from her past life, to systematically empty the manor. She begins with her own substantial dowry, sweeping chests of gold, jewelry, silk, and antiques into her dimension. She then moves to the main treasury, neutralizing the guards and looting rows of gold bars and silver ingots. Understanding the practical needs of an exile journey, she also collects vast quantities of grain, preserved foods, and kitchenware from the granaries and kitchens. To cover her tracks, she sets fire to the warehouses, ensuring that the officials arriving to seize the property find nothing of value. When the officials, led by the corrupt Zhao Kuo, discover the burned ruins, Su Hanchu calmly deflects their suspicions by claiming the family was too poor to hide anything, a narrative supported by the ashes.

The exile convoy departs, with Su Hanchu, Jun Moye, and the rest of the Jun family traveling alongside the Chen family, who are related by marriage. The journey is harsh, and tensions rise quickly. Chen Siyu, resentful of Su Hanchu’s presence and status as the legitimate wife, repeatedly provokes conflicts. During a rest stop, Chen Siyu hires thugs to assault Su Hanchu in an attempt to ruin her chastity. Su Hanchu, displaying her combat skills, defeats the attackers and extracts a confession implicating Chen Siyu. Upon returning to the camp, she confronts Chen Siyu and physically disciplines her. The confrontation escalates when Chen Siyu’s mother and grandmother intervene, demanding Su Hanchu apologize. Jun Moye, despite his injuries from the initial arrest, firmly defends his wife, declaring that Su Hanchu is his lawful spouse and that the Chen family’s behavior is unacceptable.

The conflict forces a separation between the Jun and Chen families. Jun Moye’s father, Prince Qin, awakens from his coma and mediates the dispute, deciding that the two families will travel separately to avoid further internal strife. Su Hanchu’s relationship with her mother-in-law, Chen Wenqiao, remains strained, but Jun Moye’s unwavering support begins to bridge the gap between him and Su Hanchu. She tends to his severe wounds, using medicinal ointments from her dimension, and shares food with him, fostering a sense of partnership. Meanwhile, Su Hanchu maintains a close bond with her own family, the Su clan, who are also exiled. She provides them with hidden resources and medical aid, ensuring their survival while navigating the political and social complexities of the journey.

As the group travels deeper into the wilderness, resource scarcity becomes a critical issue. The official rations are insufficient, and many exiles suffer from hunger and cold. Su Hanchu continues to manage their survival by secretly providing food and supplies, such as roasted chestnuts and chicken stew, while maintaining a low profile. She navigates the delicate dynamics between the Jun family members, the Su family, and the lingering hostility from the Chen family. The story follows their arduous journey toward the northwest, highlighting Su Hanchu’s adaptability, strategic mind, and combat prowess as she protects her new family and secures their future in a hostile environment.
